Quotes
-
Harold Finch : [On the phone] Mr. Reese? Excuse me. I have some very bad news.
John Reese : Guessing this is about a number.
Harold Finch : Several, actually. It took me a while to realize that they were all prior aliases for one person. You, Mr. Reese.
Officer Joss Carter : [Looks at John] Something wrong?
John Reese : No more than usual.
-
Root : [Bear is barking at her] Something's wrong with your attack dog.
Harold Finch : He appears to be the smart one.
Root : Why are you still awake? Not bad dreams, I hope.
Harold Finch : I heard it said once that a pregnant woman may see the face of her unborn child in her dreams. I saw every digit, every line of code as I created it. But you've changed that, haven't you? You found a way to alter the DNA to rewrite the code. Is that how you get it to speak to you?
Root : You have the relationship with her that you wanted. She respects that. My relationship is more... intimate.
Harold Finch : Sorry I asked.
Root : Why are you asking? What's gotten you so upset? Is the big lug in trouble? Has his number finally come up? I don't really care for the man myself, but he means a great deal to you. So if you can see it fit to set me free from this cage, I'll return him to you, unharmed.
Harold Finch : How could I ever let you go when I know with almost absolute certainty that bad things will happen?
Root : Bad things will happen regardless. The question is, are you gonna let them happen to your friend?

Sameen Shaw : Reese and Carter broke through HR's roadblock into Manhattan. They're on their way to the fed building.
Harold Finch : I heard. Thanks to Detective Fusco. Unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky.
Sameen Shaw : I can find him, but it might not matter. Might be dead by now.
Harold Finch : Remind me to hire an optimist next time.
Sameen Shaw : Even an optimist can't be two places at once.
-
John Reese : Finch, could use a little help here.
Harold Finch : Mr. Reese, where are you?
John Reese : [At the city morgue] Not my final stop, I hope.

Harold Finch : Ms. Shaw, I'm afraid I've lost contact with Mr. Reese.
Sameen Shaw : Well, at the risk of stating the obvious, Finch, you could just ask the machine for his location.
Harold Finch : I don't speak to the machine, and the machine doesn't speak to me, Ms. Shaw.
Sameen Shaw : Well, it speaks to her.
Harold Finch : I might not know where our friends are, but I certainly know where they're headed. 26 Federal Plaza, to be exact. Based on their last location, there are two direct routes into Manhattan; the Long Island railroad and the BQE to Brooklyn Bridge. HR will be patrolling both spots heavily.
Sameen Shaw : So are you saying Fusco and I need to split up?
Detective Lionel Fusco : Is that glasses? Tell him this is the last time I chauffeur your ass.
Harold Finch : Divide and conquer, I assume that's all right with you.
Sameen Shaw : I thought you'd never ask.

Harold Finch : Breakfast.
Root : It's 4:00 in the morning.
Harold Finch : I may not be back in time. I may not be back at all.
Root : I can't imagine what it must be like for you. After all this time, to have to let go of your creation.
Harold Finch : The machine is still sending us numbers, Ms. Groves.
Root : I wasn't talking about the machine. John. It's not too late. I can help you stop whatever's about to happen. Please let me help you.
Harold Finch : Good-bye, Ms. Groves.
